Q. Can we book taxis?

A. As Heather Cottage is in a beautiful rural location, unfortunately most of the local attractions and places to eat are not within comfortable walking distance – especially for dining out in the evening. However, If you don’t drive or If you would prefer not to drive, (like a glass of wine – or two!! with your meal), a local taxi could be the answer. A list of local firms that we recommend can be found on our Location page on the website. The more notice you can give them the better, as at certain times it may be difficult to arrange a taxi at the last moment, especially if you plan to return late at night.

Q. Is Heather Cottage suitable for children?
